It was terribly, terribly cold. That was the first thing that Spirit noticed as his eyes started to open, still hazy with sleep. He must have kicked the blankets off at some point during the night, he supposed. He groaned and attempted to reach for his duvet. His hand, however, did not move, and his mouth emitted only a muffled sound. His eyes sprung fully open in his shock. Desperately he tried to move his arms, only to discover they were somehow held in place by the wrists. It felt almost like something was holding him down, invasive but not painful, as he only felt a dull sensation in his arms of something piercing through flesh, betwee

"Hey, kid! Are you alright?" Naoto slowly started to return to consciousness as the speaker shoving his shoulder. The voice was slightly gruff, but still gentle and with a touch of concern. Adachi-rather, that witch as he turned out to be-must have done something terribly wrong. His body still burned all over, and his fin felt like it had been sliced up with glass. He tried to will it to move; nothing happened. Naoto winced, then opened his eyes. He was shocked to see the boy he had rescued several days before staring right back into his eyes. "Good…you're not dead…" the blonde said, his face relaxing into a little smile. Naoto a

The ocean is a fierce, dangerous mistress. It is well known to anyone who sails these waters that a high number of accidents occur on the sea's waves daily, drowning large numbers of humans and clasping their lives in its cold, watery hands. But are they truly accidents, or could they really be…murder? Murder most foul…It is I, the merman Naoto Shirogane, who shall be the one to unveil the crimes of- "Naoto! Quit your internal monologue in that silly little cave of yours and get out here!" a voice called. "Ah…coming!" Naoto quickly fastened the kelp that bound his chest and swam out of the cave he had been daydreaming in. Th

It was a relatively boring Sunday at the Dojima residence. Seeing as no one was currently stuck in the horribly disturbing dimension that was the TV World, the Investigation Team was quite happy to be ignoring the quest for truth and justice and the Japanese way for an afternoon. The entire group was clustered around the television in the living room, taking turns swinging little white Wiimotes around far more than necessary and cheering one another on as if hitting a tennis ball so that a badly-drawn 3D model could not hit it was a life or death situation. Nanako, somehow, was currently beating all of the high school students at practically

"Ah…ahn…oh god, Souji…I…HOLY SHIT." What had started off as the absolutely most amazing, mind-blowing sex the two could have ever imagined, though in all honesty was just about as typically awkward, unpolished sex as one would imagine two virgins to have for the first time, was abruptly and violently ended by Yosuke's shriek. Eyes huge, Souji pulled out of the redhead as fast as he could. "Are you ok? The…the book said that it only would hurt at first…" He stared in mild horror at the other young man, unsure which was worse—the fact that he had obviously hurt his partner, or the fact that his planning had

Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia enter through the crowd, passing out a few random pamphlets. They adlib a few things about the campaign to "Become one with Russia" They all seem a tad nervous. They finally make it up to the stage and form a half-circle, facing the audience. LITHUANIA (Brandishing a pamphlet and shouting to the audience) Become one with Russia! Accept the power of the motherland into your life! LATVIA D-d-do you think that R-russia w-will think we're doing a g-good job? ESTONIA We can only hope so. I'd hate to see his reaction should he decide we're not up to par... LITHUANIA Don't worry about it, he'd take it
